Great stay

Beautiful home that is well taken care of. The owners have done a great job of making the place a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze, even accommodating us for a last minute extra night. The location is super convenient for city exploration. Can't wait for our next stay there!

The Great Escape was everything we were looking for!

This cute little house was so adorable, decorated so pretty. It was clean & cozy plus excellent location to all fun things in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Tampa zoo, Florida aquarium, Busch Gardens. Legoland was a little over an hour away. which wasn’t bad at all. Clearwater beach within 40 minutes….we couldn’t have been more pleased with choosing this property. Super quiet neighborhood. Beds were cozy. Owners and host is very attentive and quick to respond. We had a great vacation!

Amazing find

This is a wonderful home, they have provided any and everything you could possibly want or need. The enclosed backyard with the spa pool is a great place to sit in the morning and drink your coffee or relax in the pool after a day of sightseeing. Chelsea was wonderful checking in with us when we arrived and available anytime we had questions. We will definitely be back!!

From the time we arrived until the end of our stay we were constantly surprised by the attention to detail and concern for our comfort. Nothing could have been improved upon, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures of an arrival gift, warm cuddly bathrobes and the very well equipped kitchen.A five Star experience!

Amazing First Time Visit to Tampa

We totally enjoyed our time at this property. The location was convenient to the places we wanted to visit, or we could just stay in and enjoy the backyard Oasis. The decor and furnishings were lovely and well thought out and everything was nice and clean.

Great Escape

Three of us stayed for one week in February. The home was immaculate. We enjoyed the swim spa after long days of shopping and the beach. Everything down to the plush blankets and French press was impressive. It was a pleasure having things like beach towels, bags, coolers, chairs…available to use during outings. If your looking for a fantastic place to stay in Port Tampa City check out The Great Escape.

Perfect home for a family of 4 while visiting the Tampa Area

We had an awesome time visiting spring trainings, beaches and just seeing everything the Tampa/St Pete Area has to offer. At the end of a long day it was always great to know we were heading back to such a nice home filled with so many amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the open kitchen/living room area was great, and the hot tub was fantastic.
